Louis P.O.V
I opened my eyes and sighed. I turned and realized El wasn't there.
El.... I don't know what happened to her. She locked up last night and wouldn't tell me anything. Why? I know she's hiding something, but what? That's the point.
But maybe I don't want to know why she's changed. I love the way she is.
Like how when she laughs there are little crinkles by her eyes.
Or Like how she sings along to the songs on the radio.
The way she fiddles with her fingers with she's nervous or how into football games she gets.
The way she smiles when she passes that picture Paris drew of us watching a game that's hanging up in the hallway of my flat.
I love how her hand fits perfectly in mine,
I love how we fit together like puzzle pieces.
I love Every flaw, every detail, every moment, everything and anything that makes her her.
Oh god Louis stop with the mushy stuff. damn.
Hey What's that noise?
I sat up in my bed and ran my hand through my hair.
Seriously what the hell is that?
I threw my feet over the edge and jumped at the random cold feeling. god I need a carpet or something... what is that?
I grabbed the piece of paper sitting on the table. 'Twins are at the sitters, and Fizzys asked me to take her to a friends house earlier. Just watch out for Lottie today. ill see you at 7, Love you. -Mum' okay. then where is El?
What the hell is that noise?!
I jumped up and ran down the hallway, stairs, then I stopped at the living room when I realized what it was. ohhhhhhhh its moms record player. I think the song is Chuck Berry- Johnny B. Goode.
"I love this song!" I heard Lottie's voice come from the kitchen.
"then come on!" a familiar voice said, is that el?
I walked to the kitchen doorway and smiled.
El and Lottie were I guess making pancakes but now there dancing around, quiet well actually.
She spun Lottie causing her to giggle. They started swing dancing and I laughed. El looked at me and her eyes lit up.
"Louis come on!" El said, I laughed and joined there little dance party.
After the song we all just awkwardly stood around the kitchen waiting for the next song on moms random ass record. she literally has everything on those. there all mixed up like one record will have Louis Armstrong, Elvis, blah blah blah. I don't even know how or where she found them.
"Ill be back!" Lottie said rushing out and up the stairs. I looked at El and laughed.
All of a sudden the crackling started becoming music. I looked at El and she was smiling.
(Play: are you lonesome tonight - Elvis Presley)
"This is my favorite Elvis song." she said quietly. I held my hand out.
"On that case. may I have this dance?" she smiled and nodded yes and she took my hand and putting the other around my shoulder as I put mine on her waist. I hummed along with the song as I looked at her.
"Are you lonesome tonight,
do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?"
Lyric's P.O.V
"Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?" This is honestly perfect.
I can't believe I'm doing this.
"Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?" God what has he done to me...
" i wonder if you're lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your lines so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I'll never know."
Some of it Kinda sounds like my problem right now...
I'm falling for him. I think I may actually love him. that's the sad part because I can't ever have him. I'll leave and he'll have Eleanor... or if he finds out I'm not her he'll hate me. I couldn't live knowing that.. I'd rather him be with her and never knowing about me, than find out and him hate me. In a few weeks all this will be over, ill be back at home. normal boring home. while he's here knowing nothing. not even knowing that there's a girl named Lyric Stevens in the world. I should've never taken this job. I should've said no and just gone to the theater like I was supposed to.
"Now the stage is bare and I'm standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you won't come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down."
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?"
